This document does not apply to the configuration in which Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CMBE)—on the same server with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Integration Tasks

Before doing the following tasks to integrate Cisco Unity Connection with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express by SCCP, confirm that Cisco Unity Connection is ready for the integration by completing the applicable tasks in the Installation Guide for Cisco Unity Connection.

The following task list describes the process for creating the integration.

Task List to Create the Integration

Use the following task list to set up a Cisco Unified CM Express SCCP integration.

1. Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Cisco Unity Connection server requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.

•Cisco IP phone feature licenses, and Cisco licenses for other H.323-compliant devices or software (such as Cisco VirtualPhone and Microsoft NetMeeting clients) that will be connected to the network, as well as one license for each Cisco Unity Connection port.

•A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.

Centralized Voice Messaging

Cisco Unity Connection supports centralized voice messaging through the phone system, which supports various inter-phone system networking protocols including proprietary protocols such as Avaya DCS, Nortel MCDN, or Siemens CorNet, and standards-based protocols such as QSIG or DPNSS. Note that centralized voice messaging is a function of the phone system and its inter-phone system networking, not voicemail. Connection will support centralized voice messaging as long as the phone system and its inter-phone system networking are properly configured. For details, see the "Centralized Voice Messaging" section in the "Integrating Cisco Unity Connection with the Phone System" chapter of the Design Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/design/guide/8xcucdgx.html.

Integration Description

The Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) Express SCCP integration uses a LAN to connect Cisco Unity Connection and the phone system. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router also provides connections to the PSTN. Figure 1 shows the connections for a system with a single Cisco Unified CM Express router.

Figure 2 shows the connections for a system with multiple Cisco Unified CM Express router and a single Cisco Unity Connection server. One Cisco Unified CM Express router acts as the SIP MWI server, and the remaining Cisco Unified CM Express routers act as SIP MWI clients. Note that Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports register with only the SIP MWI server (the Cisco Unified CM Express router that is on the same LAN as the Cisco Unity Connection server), not with the SIP MWI clients.

This document does not apply to the configuration in which Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CMBE)—on the same server with Cisco Unified CM.

Call Information

The phone system sends the following information with forwarded calls:

•The extension of the called party

•The extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the phone number of the calling party (if it is an external call and the system uses caller ID)

•The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)

Cisco Unity Connection uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection is answered with the personal greeting of the user. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity Connection without this information, Cisco Unity Connection answers with the opening greeting.

Integration Functionality

•Easy message access (a user can retrieve messages without entering an ID; Cisco Unity Connection identifies a user based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)

•Identified user messaging (Cisco Unity Connection automatically identifies a user who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated)

•Message waiting indication (MWI)

These integration features are not available to analog phones connected through FXS ports on the Cisco Unified CM Express phone system. Analog phones connected to ATA, however, support all integration features, except MWIs (MWI lamps will not light, though the stutter dial tone will sound).

Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems

When Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CMBE)—on the same server with Cisco Unified Communications Manager—Cisco Unity Connection cannot be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time.

Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection

Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity Connection. The following considerations will affect the programming for the phone system (for example, setting up the hunt group or call forwarding for the voice messaging ports):

•The number of voice messaging ports installed.

For a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, each Cisco Unity Connection server must have enough ports to handle all voice messaging traffic in case the other server stops functioning. The Cisco Unified CM Express server must have enough ports created for all Cisco Unity Connection servers.

•The number of voice messaging ports that will answer calls.

•The number of voice messaging ports that will only dial out, for example, to send message notification, to set message waiting indicators (MWIs), and to make telephone record and playback (TRAP) connections.

The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity Connection that can be set on Telephony Integrations > Port of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

Table 1 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports

Field

Considerations

Enabled

Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.

Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.

Server

(For a Cisco Unity Connection cluster only) Select the name of the Cisco Unity Connection server that you want to handle this port.

Assign an equal number of answering and dial-out voice messaging ports to the Cisco Unity Connection servers so that they equally share the voice messaging traffic.

Extension

Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.

Answer Calls

Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from users.

Perform Message Notification

Check this check box to designate the port for notifying users of messages. Assign Perform Message Notification to the least busy ports.

Send MWI Requests

Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Send MWI Requests to the least busy ports.

Allow TRAP Connections

Check this check box so that users can use the port for recording and playback through the phone in Cisco Unity Connection web applications. Assign Allow TRAP Connections to the least busy ports.

Outgoing Hunt Order

Enter the priority order in which Cisco Unity Connection will use the ports when dialing out (for example, if the Perform Message Notification, Send MWI Requests, or Allow TRAP Connections check box is checked). The highest numbers are used first. However, when multiple ports have the same Outgoing Hunt Order number, Cisco Unity Connection will use the port that has been idle the longest.

The Number Voice of Messaging Ports to Install

The number of voice messaging ports to install depends on numerous factors, including:

•The number of calls Cisco Unity Connection will answer when call traffic is at its peak.

•The expected length of each message that callers will record and that users will listen to.

•The number of users.

•The number of ports that will be set to dial out only.

•The number of calls made for message notification.

•The number of MWIs that will be activated when call traffic is at its peak.

•The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are used by Cisco Unity Connection web applications to play back and record over the phone.)

•The number of calls that will use the automated attendant and call handlers when call traffic is at its peak.

It is best to install only the number of voice messaging ports that are needed so that system resources are not allocated to unused ports.

The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Answer Calls

The calls that the voice messaging ports answer can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from users. Typically, the voice messaging ports that answer calls are the busiest.

You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to send message notifications). However, when the voice messaging ports perform more than one function and are very active (for example, answering many calls), the other functions may be delayed until the voice messaging port is free (for example, message notifications cannot be sent until there are fewer calls to answer). For best performance, dedicate certain voice messaging ports for only answering incoming calls, and dedicate other ports for only dialing out. Separating these port functions eliminates the possibility of a collision, in which an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity Connection takes the port off-hook to dial out.

Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity Connection that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Send MWI Requests, do not send calls to it.

Considerations for a Cisco Unity Connection Cluster

If your system is configured for a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, consider how the voice messaging ports will be used in different scenarios.

When Both Cisco Unity Connection Servers Are Functioning Normally

•The phone system is provisioned with twice the number SCCP ephone devices needed to handle the voice messaging traffic.

•A hunt group is configured on the phone system to send incoming calls first to the subscriber server, then to the publisher server if no answering ports are available on the subscriber server.

•In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, the voice messaging ports that connect to the SCCP ephone devices are configured so that an equal number of voice messaging ports are assigned to each Cisco Unity Connection server. This guide directs you to assign the voice messaging ports to their specific server at the applicable time.

•The voice messaging ports on both Cisco Unity Connection servers are registered with the phone system.

•The number of voice messaging ports that are assigned to one Cisco Unity Connection server must be sufficient to handle all of the voice messaging traffic for the system (answering calls and dialing out) when the other Cisco Unity Connection server stops functioning.

If both Cisco Unity Connection servers must be functioning to handle the voice messaging traffic, the system will not have sufficient capacity when one of the servers stops functioning.

•Each Cisco Unity Connection server is assigned half the total number of voice messaging ports.

If all the voice messaging ports are assigned to one Cisco Unity Connection server, the other Cisco Unity Connection server will not be able to answer calls or to dial out.

•Each Cisco Unity Connection server must have voice messaging ports that will answer calls and that can dial out (for example, to set MWIs).

When Only One Cisco Unity Connection Server Is Functioning

•The SCCP ephone devices on the phone system are unregistered from the voice messaging ports on the Cisco Unity Connection server that stopped functioning.

•The hunt group on the phone system sends all calls to the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server.

•The number of voice messaging ports that are assigned to the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server must be sufficient to handle all of the voice messaging traffic for the system (answering calls and dialing out).

•The functioning Cisco Unity Connection server must have voice messaging ports that will answer calls and that can dial out (for example, to set MWIs).

If the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server does not have voice messaging ports for answering calls, the system will not be able to answer incoming calls. Similarly, if the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server does not have voice messaging ports for dialing out, the system will not be able to dial out (for example, to set MWIs).

After the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router is installed, do the procedures in the applicable section depending on the Cisco Unity Connection configuration or on the number of Cisco Unified CM Express routers that you will integrate with Cisco Unity Connection:

This procedure configures the Message button on Cisco IP phones to dial the Cisco Unity Connection pilot number when pressed.

Step 1 On the Cisco Unified CM Express router, go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:

telephony-service

Step 2 Enter the following command:

voicemail <Cisco Unity Connection pilot number>

Step 3 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

The following is an example of the configuration:

telephony-service

voicemail 4001

To Configure the Router for Cisco Unity Connection (Without a Connection Cluster)

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory number tag for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the applicable command:

•For ephone-dns that will be used by ports that are dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages, enter the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag> dual-line

•For ephone-dns that will be used only to dial out, enter the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 To set the extension number for the voice messaging port, enter the following command:

number <Voice messaging port extension>

Note The voice message port extension must be the Cisco Unity Connection pilot number (configured by the "voicemail" command in the preceding procedure) for all ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages.

Step 3 To set the display name for the port (for example, "Voice Messaging System" or "Dial Out Only"), enter the following command:

name <Display name of voice messaging port>

Step 4 To set the device name for the port (for example, "CUC1-VI1" or "CUC1-Dialout1"), enter the following command:

description <Device name of voice messaging port>

Step 5 To reserve the second ephone-dn channel for supervised transfers, enter the following command:

huntstop channel

Step 6 To set the dial-peer preference for the extension, enter the following command:

Note The number of voice messaging ports set up to connect to Cisco Unity Connection must be the same as the number of directory number tags for the Cisco IP phone lines set up by the ephone-dn configuration mode.

Step 9 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

The following is an example of the configuration without a Cisco Unity Connection cluster:

ephone-dn 32 dual-line

number 4001

name "Voice Messaging System"

description "CUC1-VI1"

huntstop channel

no huntstop

preference 1

!

ephone-dn 33 dual-line

number 4001

name "Voice Messaging System"

description "CUC1-VI2"

huntstop channel

no huntstop

preference 2

ephone-dn 34 dual-line

number 4001

name "Voice Messaging System"

description "CUC1-VI3"

huntstop channel

huntstop

preference 3

!

ephone-dn 35

number 5001

name "Dial Out Only"

description "CUC1-Dialout1"

In this example, there are four ephone-dns configured to provide four voice messaging ports. Three of the ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number to provide ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages. These three ephone-dns are also configured with two channels each (the second channel is reserved for supervised transfers). The fourth ephone-dn is provided for use as a dial-out port. The first three ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number (4001), using preferences 1, 2, and 3 to create a hunt group. If the first port is busy, the call goes to the second port, and so on. Port 4 is configured with the extension number 5001 and is used to dial out by Cisco Unity Connection (for example, to set MWIs). Separate ports are required for answering calls and dialing out in order to prevent call-collision problems between incoming calls placed by Cisco Unified CM Express to Cisco Unity Connection, and outgoing calls that Cisco Unity Connection places in the opposite direction.

To Associate the Voice Messaging Port (Without a Connection Cluster)

To associate the actual voice messaging port (vm-device-id) to the phone number, associate the Cisco IP phone with the voice messaging port.

The vm-device-id name uses the following format:

<Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix><Port number>

The vm-device-id name must match the Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging port name that you will use to identify the port in Cisco Unity Connection Administration when you create the integration:

•The Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix part (for example, CUC1-VI) must match the Device Name Prefix field on the Telephony Integrations > Port Group > Port Group Basics page of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

•The port number part (for example, "1") must match the number part of the Cisco Unity Connection Administration voice messaging port name used to identify the port on the Telephony Integrations > Port > Port Basics page of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

To associate a voice messaging port to the Cisco Unified CM Express router, do the following steps, beginning in ephone configuration mode.

Step 1 Go into the ephone configuration mode and register the Cisco IP phones by entering the following command:

ephone <DN tag>

Step 2 Define the voice messaging port name, by entering the following command:

vm-device-id <Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix><Port number>

For example, if the Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix is CUC1-VI, enter CUC1-VI1 for the first port, CUC1-VI2 for the second port, and so on.

Caution The vm-device-id name used by Cisco Unified CM Express must be the same as the voice messaging port name used by Cisco Unity Connection. Otherwise, the integration will not work.

For example, you can use the values 1:1, 2:4, or 3:14. In this example, button 1 corresponds to directory number 1 (ephone-dn 1), button 2 corresponds to directory number 4, and button 3 corresponds to directory number 14. The buttons correspond to the phone lines on the Cisco IP phone.

Note The number of voice messaging port names configured with the vm-device-id command must be the same as the number of Cisco IP phones registered by the ephone configuration mode.

Step 5 To exit the ephone configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Following is an example of the configuration without a Cisco Unity Connection cluster. In this example, the vm-device-id command is used within the ephone configuration in place of the mac-address parameter that is used for configuring a regular Cisco IP phone.

ephone 5

vm-device-id CUC1-VI1

ephone 6

vm-device-id CUC1-VI2

To Configure a Directory Number for MWI Notification (Without a Connection Cluster)

MWI configuration on the Cisco Unified CM Express is performed by dedicating Cisco IP phone directory numbers (ephone-DNs) to process MWI status notification calls originating from Cisco Unity Connection. You must allocate a minimum of one MWI processing ephone-dn for each MWI ephone-dn voice messaging port. The MWI processing ephone-dn extensions are configured to match the MWI extensions configured on Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 Configure two valid directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone to be used for MWIs—the first number will turn MWIs on, and the second number will turn MWIs off—by entering the following command:

number <MWI on number> secondary <MWI off number>

Note The MWI on and off numbers must match the settings of the MWI On Extension and MWI Off Extension fields you enter in Cisco Unity Connection Administration when you create the integration on Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 3 Configure these two directory numbers to be used for setting MWIs by entering the following command:

mwi on-off

Step 4 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Following is an example of the configuration.

ephone-dn 32

number 8000 secondary 8001

mwi on-off

In this example, Cisco Unity Connection calls extensions 8000 and 8001 to turn MWIs on and off. The DN triggers an MWI ON event when 8000 is called, and an MWI OFF event when 8001 is called.

For extensions associated with analog telephone adaptors (ATAs), the MWI is a lit function button on the ATA and a stutter dial tone on the connected analog phone.

This procedure configures the Message button on Cisco IP phones to dial the Cisco Unity Connection pilot number when pressed.

Step 1 On the Cisco Unified CM Express router, go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:

telephony-service

Step 2 Enter the following command:

voicemail <Cisco Unity Connection pilot number>

Step 3 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

The following is an example of the configuration:

telephony-service

voicemail 4001

To Configure the Router for Cisco Unity Connection (With a Connection Cluster Configured)

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory number tag for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the applicable command:

•For ephone-dns that will be used by ports that are dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages, enter the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag> dual-line

•For ephone-dns that will be used only to dial out, enter the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 To set the extension number for the voice messaging port, enter the following command:

number <Voice messaging port extension>

Note The voice message port extension must be the Cisco Unity Connection pilot number (configured by the "voicemail" command in the preceding procedure) for all ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages.

Step 3 To set the display name for the port (for example, "Voice Messaging System" or "Dial Out Only"), enter the following command:

name <Display name of voice messaging port>

Step 4 To set the device name for the port (for example, "CUC1-VI1" or "CUC1-Dialout1"), enter the following command:

description <Device name of voice messaging port>

Step 5 To reserve the second ephone-dn channel for supervised transfers, enter the following command:

huntstop channel

Step 6 To set the dial-peer preference for the extension, enter the following command:

preference <Preference order>

Note The preference order must route calls first to the subscriber server in the Connection cluster, then to the publisher server. See the example configuration below.

Note The number of voice messaging ports set up to connect to Cisco Unity Connection must be the same as the number of directory number tags for the Cisco IP phone lines set up by the ephone-dn configuration mode. Further, the number of voice messaging ports must be the total of the ports on all Cisco Unity Connection servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster.

Step 9 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

The following is an example of the configuration with a Cisco Unity Connection cluster configured:

ephone-dn 32 dual-line

number 4001

name "Voice Messaging System"

description "CUC1-VI1"

name "Dial Out Only"

description "CUC1-Dialout1"

!

ephone-dn 39

number 5001

name "Dial Out Only"

description "CUC2-Dialout1"

In this example, there are two sets of ephone-dns:

•Four ephone-dns are configured for the publisher server in the Connection cluster (CUC1-VI1 through CUC1_VI3, and CUC1-Dialout1).

•Four ephone-dns are configured for the subscriber server in the Connection cluster (CUC2-VI1 through CUC2_VI3, and CUC2-Dialout1).

The hunt group routes calls first to the subscriber server in the Connection cluster. When all the answering ports on the subscriber server are busy, the hunt group routes calls to the publisher server. Only the last answering ephone-dn for the publisher server has enabled huntstop so that the hunt group will search through the answering ephone-dns on all Cisco Unity Connection servers. The ephone-dns that are used for dialing out are not included in the hunt group.

To associate the actual voice messaging port (vm-device-id) to the phone number, associate the Cisco IP phone with the voice messaging port.

The vm-device-id name uses the following format:

<Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix><Port number>

The vm-device-id name must match the Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging port name that you will use to identify the port in Cisco Unity Connection Administration when you create the integration:

•The Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix part (for example, CUC1-VI) must match the Device Name Prefix field on the Telephony Integrations > Port Group > Port Group Basics page of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

•The port number part (for example, "1") must match the number part of the Cisco Unity Connection Administration voice messaging port name used to identify the port on the Telephony Integrations > Port > Port Basics page of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

To associate a voice messaging port to the Cisco Unified CM Express router, do the following steps, beginning in ephone configuration mode.

Step 1 Go into the ephone configuration mode and register the Cisco IP phones by entering the following command:

ephone <DN tag>

Step 2 Define the voice messaging port name, by entering the following command:

vm-device-id <Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix><Port number>

For example, if the Cisco Unity Connection device name prefix is CUC1-VI, enter CUC1-VI1 for the first port, CUC1-VI2 for the second port, and so on.

Caution The vm-device-id name used by Cisco Unified CM Express must be the same as the voice messaging port name used by Cisco Unity Connection. Otherwise, the integration will not work.

For example, you can use the values 1:1, 2:4, or 3:14. In this example, button 1 corresponds to directory number 1 (ephone-dn 1), button 2 corresponds to directory number 4, and button 3 corresponds to directory number 14. The buttons correspond to the phone lines on the Cisco IP phone.

Note The number of voice messaging port names configured with the vm-device-id command must be the same as the number of Cisco IP phones registered by the ephone configuration mode.

Step 5 To exit the ephone configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

The following is an example of the configuration with a Cisco Unity Connection cluster configured. In this example, the vm-device-id command is used within the ephone configuration in place of the mac-address parameter that is used for configuring a regular Cisco IP phone.

To Configure a Directory Number for MWI Notification (With a Connection Cluster Configured)

MWI configuration on the Cisco Unified CM Express is performed by dedicating Cisco IP phone directory numbers (ephone-DNs) to process MWI status notification calls originating from Cisco Unity Connection. You must allocate a minimum of one MWI processing ephone-dn for each MWI ephone-dn voice messaging port. The MWI processing ephone-dn extensions are configured to match the MWI extensions configured on Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 Configure two valid directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone to be used for MWIs—the first number will turn MWIs on, and the second number will turn MWIs off—by entering the following command:

number <MWI on number> secondary <MWI off number>

Note The MWI on and off numbers must match the settings of the MWI On Extension and MWI Off Extension fields you enter in Cisco Unity Connection Administration when you create the integration on Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 3 Configure these two directory numbers to be used for setting MWIs by entering the following command:

mwi on-off

Step 4 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Following is an example of the configuration.

ephone-dn 32

number 8000 secondary 8001

mwi on-off

In this example, Cisco Unity Connection calls extensions 8000 and 8001 to turn MWIs on and off. The DN triggers an MWI ON event when 8000 is called, and an MWI OFF event when 8001 is called.

For extensions associated with analog telephone adaptors (ATAs), the MWI is a lit function button on the ATA and a stutter dial tone on the connected analog phone.

Cisco Unity Connection can be used by multiple Cisco Unified CM Express routers. This configuration requires that one Cisco Unified CM Express router be on the same LAN as Cisco Unity Connection, and that this Cisco Unified CM Express router register all Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports. This Cisco Unified CM Express router (the SIP MWI server) is a proxy server that relays SIP MWI messages between Cisco Unity Connection and all other Cisco Unified CM Express routers (the SIP MWI clients). Note that Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports register with only the SIP MWI server (the Cisco Unified CM Express router that is on the same LAN as Cisco Unity Connection), not with the SIP MWI clients.

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory number tag for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the applicable command:

•For ephone-dns that will be used by ports that are dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages, enter the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag> dual-line

•For ephone-dns that will be used only to dial out, enter the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 To set the extension number for the voice messaging port, enter the following command:

number <Voice messaging port extension>

Note The voice message port extension must be the Cisco Unity Connection pilot number (configured by the "voicemail" command in the preceding procedure) for all ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages.

Step 3 To set the display name for the port (for example, "Voice Messaging System" or "Dial Out Only"), enter the following command:

name <Display name of voice messaging port>

Step 4 To set the device name for the port (for example, "CUC1-VI1" or "CUC1-Dialout1"), enter the following command:

description <Device name of voice messaging port>

Step 5 To reserve the second ephone-dn channel for supervised transfers, enter the following command:

huntstop channel

Step 6 To set the dial-peer preference for the extension, enter the following command:

preference <Preference order>

Note The preference order must route calls first to the subscriber server in the Connection cluster, then to the publisher server. See the example configuration below.

Note The number of voice messaging ports set up to connect to Cisco Unity Connection must be the same as the number of directory number tags for the Cisco IP phone lines set up by the ephone-dn configuration mode.

For a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, the number of voice messaging ports must be the total of the ports on all Cisco Unity Connection servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster.

Step 9 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

The following is an example of the configuration without a Cisco Unity Connection cluster:

ephone-dn 32 dual-line

number 4001

name "Voice Messaging System"

description "CUC1-VI1"

huntstop channel

no huntstop

preference 1

!

ephone-dn 33 dual-line

description "CUC1-VI3"

huntstop channel

huntstop

preference 3

!

ephone-dn 35

number 5001

name "Dial Out Only"

description "CUC1-Dialout1"

In this example, there are four ephone-dns configured to provide four voice messaging ports. Three of the ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number to provide ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages. These three ephone-dns are also configured with two channels each (the second channel is reserved for supervised transfers). The fourth ephone-dn is provided for use as a dial-out port. The first three ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number (4001), using preferences 1, 2, and 3 to create a hunt group. If the first port is busy, the call goes to the second port, and so on. Port 4 is configured with the extension number 5001 and is used to dial out by Cisco Unity Connection (for example, to set MWIs). Separate ports are required for answering calls and dialing out in order to prevent call-collision problems between incoming calls placed by Cisco Unified CM Express to Cisco Unity Connection, and outgoing calls that Cisco Unity Connection places in the opposite direction.

The following is an example of the configuration with a Cisco Unity Connection cluster configured:

ephone-dn 32 dual-line

name "Dial Out Only"

description "CUC1-Dialout1"

!

ephone-dn 39

number 5001

name "Dial Out Only"

description "CUC2-Dialout1"

In this example, there are two sets of ephone-dns:

•Four ephone-dns are configured for the publisher server in the Connection cluster (CUC1-VI1 through CUC1_VI3, and CUC1-Dialout1).

•Four ephone-dns are configured for the subscriber server in the Connection cluster (CUC2-VI1 through CUC2-VI3, and CUC2-Dialout1).

The hunt group routes calls first to the subscriber server in the Connection cluster. When all the answering ports on the subscriber server are busy, the hunt group routes calls to the publisher server. Only the last answering ephone-dn for the publisher server has enabled huntstop so that the hunt group will search through the answering ephone-dns on all Cisco Unity Connection servers. The ephone-dns that are used to dial out are not included in the hunt group.

For example, you can use the values 1:1, 2:4, or 3:14. In this example, button 1 corresponds to directory number 1 (ephone-dn 1), button 2 corresponds to directory number 4, and button 3 corresponds to directory number 14. The buttons correspond to the phone lines on the Cisco IP phone.

Note The number of voice messaging port names configured with the vm-device-id command must be the same as the number of Cisco IP phones registered by the ephone configuration mode.

Step 5 To exit the ephone configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Following is an example of the configuration without a Cisco Unity Connection cluster. In this example, the vm-device-id command is used within the ephone configuration in place of the mac-address parameter that is used for configuring a regular Cisco IP phone.

ephone 5

The following is an example of the configuration with a Cisco Unity Connection cluster configured:

The SIP MWI server must be in the same LAN as Cisco Unity Connection. This IP address is used in conjunction with the "mwi sip" command in ephone-dn configuration mode to subscribe individual ephone-dn extension numbers to the MWI server notification list. The SIP MWI client runs TCP by default.

This command uses the following keywords:

•ipv4:—Sets the IP address of the SIP MWI server.

•dns:—Sets the DNS name of the SIP MWI server.

•expires—(optional) Subscription expiration time, in seconds. The range is 1 to 999999. The default is 3600.

•transport tcp—The default setting.

•transport udp—Allows you to integrate with the SIP MWI client.

•port—Used to specify the TCP port for the SIP MWI server. The default SIP port number is 5060.

•unsolicited—Allows sending SIP NOTIFY for MWIs without the need to send a SUBSCRIBE from the Cisco Unified CM Express router.

Step 3 To exit the SIP user-agent configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Step 4 Go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:

telephony-service

Step 5 If you want to keep the default registration with an extension number, continue to Step 6. If you want to register with an E.164 10-digit number, enter the following command:

mwi reg-e164

Step 6 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Step 7 Continue to the next procedure.

To Configure MWIs for Each Directory Number (Multiple Cisco Unified CM Express Routers)

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 Configure a valid directory number for the Cisco IP phone that receives the MWI notification by entering the following command:

number <Directory number>

Step 3 Configure the device name of MWI for the directory number that receives MWI notification by entering the following command:

name MWI

Step 4 Subscribe the extension in a Cisco Unified CM Express to receive MWIs from a SIP MWI server by entering the following command:

mwi sip

This command integrates the Cisco Unified CM Express with the MWI service based on SIP protocol.

Note The "mwi sip-server" command under telephony-service configuration mode or the "mwi-server" command under SIP user-agent configuration mode must be set before enabling the "mwi sip" command in ephone configuration mode.

Step 5 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

MWI configuration on the Cisco Unified CM Express is performed by dedicating Cisco IP phone directory numbers (ephone-DNs) to process MWI status notification calls originating from Cisco Unity Connection. You must allocate a minimum of one MWI processing ephone-dn for each MWI ephone-dn voice messaging port. The MWI processing ephone-dn extensions are configured to match the MWI extensions configured on Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:

ephone-dn <DN tag>

Step 2 Configure two valid directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone to be used for MWIs—the first number will turn MWIs on, and the second number will turn MWIs off—by entering the following command:

number <MWI on number> secondary <MWI off number>

Note The MWI on and off numbers must match the settings of the MWI On Extension and MWI Off Extension fields you enter in Cisco Unity Connection Administration when you create the integration on Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 3 Configure these two directory numbers to be used for setting MWIs by entering the following command:

mwi on-off

Step 4 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Following is an example of the configuration.

ephone-dn 32

number 8000 secondary 8001

mwi on-off

In this example, Cisco Unity Connection calls extensions 8000 and 8001 to turn MWIs on and off. The DN triggers an MWI ON event when 8000 is called, and an MWI OFF event when 8001 is called.

The SIP MWI server must be in the same LAN as Cisco Unity Connection. This IP address is used in conjunction with the "mwi sip" command in ephone-dn configuration mode to subscribe individual ephone-dn extension numbers to the MWI server notification list. The SIP MWI client runs TCP by default.

This command uses the following keywords:

•ipv4:—Sets the IP address of the SIP MWI server.

•dns:—Sets the DNS name of the SIP MWI server.

•expires—(optional) Subscription expiration time, in seconds. The range is 1 to 999999. The default is 3600.

•transport tcp—The default setting.

•transport udp—Allows you to integrate with the SIP MWI client.

•port—Used to specify the TCP port for the SIP MWI server. The default SIP port number is 5060.

•unsolicited—Allows sending SIP NOTIFY for MWIs without the need to send a SUBSCRIBE from the Cisco Unified CM Express router.

Step 6 To exit the SIP user-agent configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

Step 7 Go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:

telephony-service

Step 8 If you want to keep the default registration with an extension number, continue to Step 9. If you want to register with an E.164 10-digit number, enter the following command:

mwi reg-e164

Step 9 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:

exit

To Enable DTMF Relay (Multiple Cisco Unified CM Express Routers)

In certain situations, DTMF digits are not recognized when processed through VoIP dial-peer gateways. To avoid this problem, certain gateways must be configured to enable DTMF relay. The DTMF relay feature is available in Cisco IOS software version 12.0(5) and later.

Cisco IOS software-based gateways that use H.245 out-of-band signaling (but not the Cisco Unified CM Express routers with which Cisco Unity Connection is integrated) must be configured to enable DTMF relay.

The Catalyst 6000 T1/PRI and FXS gateways enable DTMF relay by default and do not need additional configuration to enable this feature.

Step 1 On a VoIP dial-peer that points to a Cisco Unified CM Express router integrated with Cisco Unity Connection (the dial-peer must have a session target of the Cisco Unified CM Express router, not Cisco Unity Connection), enter the following command:

dtmf-relay h245-signal

Step 2 Create a destination pattern that matches the Cisco Unified CM Express voicemail port numbers. For example, if the system has voicemail ports 1001 through 1016, enter the dial-peer destination pattern 10xx.

Step 20 In the right pane, select Start Polling. The Port Monitor will display which port is handling the calls that you will make.

To Test an External Call with Release Transfer

Step 1 From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 2 In the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.

Step 3 When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting means that the port is configured correctly.

Step 4 Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Hearing a ringback tone means that Cisco Unity Connection correctly released the call and transferred it to Phone 1.

Step 5 Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that release transfer is successful.

Step 6 Confirm that, after the number of rings that the phone system is set to wait, the call is forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection and that you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that the phone system forwarded the unanswered call and the call-forward information to Cisco Unity Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.

Step 7 On the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.

Step 8 Leave a message for the test user and hang up Phone 2.

Step 9 In the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

Step 10 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is activated. The activated MWI means that the phone system and Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning on MWIs.

Step 2 When asked for your password, enter the password for the test user. Hearing the request for your password means that the phone system sent the necessary call information to Cisco Unity Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.

Step 3 Confirm that you hear the recorded name for the test user (if you did not record a name for the test user, you will hear the extension number for Phone 1). Hearing the recorded name means that Cisco Unity Connection correctly identified the user by the extension.

Step 4 Listen to the message.

Step 5 After listening to the message, delete the message.

Step 6 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is deactivated. The deactivated MWI means that the phone system and Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning off MWIs.

Step 7 Hang up Phone 1.

Step 8 On the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

Do not close the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window because you will use it again in a later procedure.

To Test Supervised Transfer

Step 1 From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 2 On the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.

Step 3 When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting means that the port is configured correctly.

Step 4 Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you do not hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Instead, you should hear the indication your phone system uses to mean that the call is on hold (for example, music).

Step 5 Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call remains "Busy." This state and hearing an indication that you are on hold mean that Cisco Unity Connection is supervising the transfer.

Step 6 Confirm that, after three rings, you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that Cisco Unity Connection successfully recalled the supervised-transfer call.

Step 7 During the greeting, hang up Phone 2.

Step 8 On the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

Step 9 Select Stop Polling.

Step 10 Sign out of RTMT.

Adding New User Templates for Multiple Integrations

When you create the first phone system integration, this first phone system is automatically selected in the default user template. The users that you add after creating this phone system integration will be assigned to this phone system by default.

However, for each additional phone system integration that you create, you must add the applicable new user templates that will assign users to the new phone system. You must add the new templates before you add new users who will be assigned to the new phone system.

For details on adding new user templates, or on selecting a user template when adding a new user, see the "Adding, Modifying, or Deleting a User Template in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x" and the "Preparing to Add User Accounts in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x" chapters of the User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x.
